Burgeoning problems of antimicrobial resistance dictate that new solutions be developed to
combat old foes. Use of lytic bacteriophages (phages) for the treatment of drug-resistant …

Phage therapy is a medical form of biological control of bacterial infections, one that uses
naturally occurring viruses, called bacteriophages or phages, as antibacterial agents …

In response to the global spread of antimicrobial resistance, there is an increased demand
for novel and innovative antimicrobials. Bacteriophages have been known for their potential …

Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens presents a substantial threat to the control of
infectious diseases. Development of new classes of antibiotics has slowed in recent years …

Many bacteriophages are obligate killers of bacteria. That this property could be medically
useful was first recognized over one hundred years ago, with 2021 being the 100-year …

Phage therapy, long overshadowed by chemical antibiotics, is garnering renewed interest in
Western medicine. This stems from the rise in frequency of multi-drug-resistant bacterial …

There is a renaissance of interest in the antimicrobial potential of phages as more
pathogens become multiply antibiotic resistant. Phage therapy is not a new concept, and it is …

Increasing antimicrobial resistance rates have revitalized bacteriophage (phage) research,
the natural predators of bacteria discovered over 100 years ago. In order to use phages …

Antimicrobial resistance is increasing despite new treatments being employed. With a
decrease in the discovery rate of novel antibiotics, this threatens to take humankind back to …

Antibiotic resistance is arguably the biggest current threat to global health. An increasing
number of infections are becoming harder or almost impossible to treat, carrying high …
